Now I know it’s looking like a lot of these races are locked up but there more than a handful of things that could happen, be them likely or shocking, that could earn a place in Oscar history this year. Jordan Peele (Get Out) is only the fourth black Best Director nominee in Oscar history. If he wins he will …

Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri) maintains a solidly perfect score at #1 while critics’ favorite Willem Dafoe (The Florida Project) is #2 across the board. Something drastic would need to happen to change those up and it’s not impossible. The backlash against Three Billboards and its depiction of racism, while featuring very little attention to its meager black …

The Directors Guild of America announced their nominees for Television and Feature Documentary today but tomorrow is their reveal of the nominees for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Motion Pictures and First Time Feature Film. These are always a mixed bag to predict but one thing is true, the group is still a pretty old-school boys’ club. Not that they haven’t …

The first televised awards of this season is upon us and in many respects it couldn’t be more difficult to predict. There are logical reasons for so many films and performances to win their categories this year. Why? Because it’s January and we still don’t have a frontrunner. Between late releases, shocking SAG snubs and overperforming and underperforming films with …

As we end this year, and really only the first half of awards season, I offer my Oscar predictions in all 24 categories. Keep an eye out for new and updated predictions next week as the Producers Guild of America announces their nominations (January 5) and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association gives out the Golden Globe Awards on January 7. …

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri led the North Carolina Film Critics Association nominations with six today, with an added prize of the Ken Hanke Memorial Tar Heel Award which recognizes films or performers with a special connection to North Carolina. The film earned all top nominations including Best Film, Director, Actress and double Supporting Actor nods. Right behind were The Post …

Willem Dafoe (The Florida Project), who’s won over a dozen critics’ awards this season (15, as of this writing) remains the leader, increasing his point level back up to 99 (only Jason has him at #2). Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) has been earning lots of regional critics’ prizes (he’s at 8 there) and is still a solid …

Saoirse Ronan rises. The two-time Oscar nominee (at only age 23) is the new president of the new Best Actress chart. With Lady Bird performing exceptionally at the Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and Critics’ Choice nominations, Ronan finds herself in a lofty position ahead of previous #1’s and Oscar winners Meryl Streep (The Post) and Frances McDormand (Three Billboards …

Christopher Nolan (Dunkirk) is nothing if not consistent. Despite the turn-up in Best Picture he retains his #1 spot in Best Director. But, as in Best Picture, Jordan Peele (Get Out) and Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) make huge moves as we leave 2017 to land at #3 and #5, respectively. Ridley Scott, hot off the heels of his Best Director …
